IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OI ALBUMENIZED PAPER,

The Schedule referred to in these Letter: Patent and dnkh-ig part of the some.

Be it known that I, JAKOB KLEIN, a native of Hesse Darmst-adt, in the North German Confederation, have invented certain Improvements in the Apparatus used in the Manufacture of Album'enized Paper, of which the following is a description, reference being made to the drawing that accompanies this specification, and which is made a part thereof.

It is usual, in manufacturing albumenized paper, to place the surface of the paperjon the top-ofthe lique tied albumen, and when a sufficient quantity has adhered, to carry the sheet of paper to afrack or frame where it is hung up to dry. This process is tedious, and takes up a great deal of time, and, moreover, the

liquid albumen that drains oif is lost, and the paper is liable to dry up clouded or streaked. I

My invention obviates this, saves -all the albumen that drains 0d, and permits the operator to hang up the paper without leavinghis place. This I effect by placing in proper position a revolving drum having suitable handles, so that the revolutions can be controlled round this drum two bands are passed, which, locingniovable, can be leadily adjusted to the width of any paper; at proper distances these bands have hooks placed in them, and strips of wood connect the hands together.

The operator stands in front of a trough containing prepared albumen, and, after having dipped up the requisite quantity, takes up the-sheet of paper and adjusts two of the corners on two of the hooks; the surplus albumen drains off into the trough which is I underneath, and the operator then gives a drum a parmain drum, pass over another one, or a roller, so. that they arekept at a proper tension.

1 In the drawing that accompanies this specifica-i';

tion- I r A is the drum'.

B B are bands with. the hooks.

The paper, as it slowly progresses onward toward the heated chamber, passes over a tray suitably inclined toward the main trough, so that all' the albu-' men that drains ofi' is saved; thusit will be seen that, with my device, much of the material is saved that has hitherto run, to waste, and a better article of albumenized paper is madebecause uniformly covcred-ina quicker time than by the ordinary process.

Having now fully tdeseribed my invention, 'What -I claim 'as new, and desire to secure by Let -ters Patent, is-

An apparatus for mannfitctnring and drying albumcnizedpaper, arranged with drum A and bands 13' .13, substantially as described.
